Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A Likert scale with unequal distances between scale points can lead to misleading results and should be avoided. It is important that the scale points have equal distances to ensure the reliability of the data collected. The other options listed (B, C, and D) are not necessarily problematic for a good Likert scale. An odd number of scale points can be used to force participants to choose a definite answer and not allow them to select a neutral point, verbal labels on scale points provide clarity, and verbal anchors at endpoints provide clear understanding of the meaning of the responses.
